While Kane Brown has been open about being raised by his mother and grandmother, he made a shocking revelation during a 2018 party about his father. As reported by Country 102.5, Brown told those in attendance that his biological dad had been in prison since 1996. Although the singer-songwriter has been quiet about why his father is incarcerated, it turns out they both share the music gene. “He’s a drummer, which I didn’t even know. He brags about me and talks about how good he is on the drums. I always joke with him and say that I’m going to hire him when he gets out,” Brown told Billboard (via Pop Culture).

Brown didn’t grow up completely without a strong male presence in his life. His song “Pop’s Last Name” is a tribute to his grandfather, who was there for him when he needed it. “He was my only father figure because my dad’s been in prison since I was a child. He was the guy that came and taught me baseball, you know, took me on drives,” Brown revealed on “Today’s Country Radio With Kelleigh Bannen” (via ABC Audio). Growing up without a father isn’t keeping Brown from being the best dad he can be. In 2019, he welcomed his first daughter Kingsley with his wife Katelyn Brown, and was inspired to write a song just for her.
